Prayas

Prayas is a voluntary organisation based in Rajasthan. Since its inception in 1979 it has been actively working on issues related to social, political and economic development of communities. Its work includes evolving a convergent model for primary health care, addressing the issues of right to health and right to health care, rights of women, children and marginalised groups, declining sex ratio, violence against women and organising communities to demand better livelihoods opportunities. Prayas works with a pro-people and pro- empowerment orientation and attempts to continuously respond to people’s voices and changing circumstances giving priority to concrete experience over conceived theory or received dogma.
